1 second faster than my previous record.
Finally, after two weeks of running, and SEVERAL low decimal demos,
this one came along, and it's even a .6! Not sure how that happened
to be honest, 'cause I failed to get the ogre telefrag at the end,
but it didn't really matter much in this run, as I got bitchin'
lucky with the monsters at the exit area, they all stepped aside
and placed themselves exactly where I wanted them to be. Surely 48
is possible with the ogre telefrag and even more luck than I had,
but it's damn near impossible to get everything right in the same
demo. Getting the first ogre and death knight to fight eachother,
happens like 1/20, and getting the last ogre telefrag is like 1/50,
getting both in the same demo almost never happens, and when it does,
something else is bound to fuck up! I could continue jabbing about
how this and that can screw up the entire run, but that would require
writing an entire novel. I know most speedrunners do not realize how
difficult and how much luck there's required to do this map fast, it
looks easy when you watch the demo, but there's a ton of things that
can go wrong, and as an ID nut, I can safely say this is one of the
hardest and most difficult demos I've ever done, even though it's so
short compared to most of my other demos :-)
